Arizonans Try Craigslist to Cash In on Super Bowl Fever

As the Super Bowl XLII weekend approaches, many Arizona residents are offering up their homes to the thousands of incoming Patriots and Giants fans eager to shell out for last-minute accommodations.

Arizonans located near the University of PhoenixStadium, where the game will be held Sunday, are advertising rentals, many touting their spacey homes with deluxe home theaters and even the use of cars in hopes of cashing in on the rush of football fans flooding the area.

The listings have similar eye-catching exclamations, proclaiming "Die Hard Patriot Fans! Act Now!!" or "HURRY UP SUPERBOWL ALMOST HERE!!!! offer wont last long!!!!"

A representative from the Arizona Office of Tourism anticipated a hectic weekend, with the town of Glendale being overrun with football fans:"Oh yes, we're definitely getting ready for a large amount of people here for the Super Bowl." Though the rep wasn't familiar with the craigslist ads, she did let on that most of the hotels in the surrounding area are likely to be completely booked up.
